Haha, with enough billable hours, anything could be made complicated. The strategy is to numb the examiner with verbiage. I am in an idle moment, so to have fun:
Rotating Device.
(Hereinafter called "Wheel")
.

Detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
In the first example, a 12" disc was hewn from an oak log, the center of which was bored with a 1" hole through. A shaft was prepared fashioned likewise of oak so as to allow free rotation between the first and second articles, such end(s) being liberally lubricated with mutton tallow.
A second disc was likewise fitted to the distant end, and the assembly mounted upon a mule sledge.
It was discovered the mule was able to transport a fully laden sledge, so equipped, tirelessly all day.
CLAIMS:
1: A load bearing device consisting of a round disc, mounted on a shaft, so as to allow low friction motion.
2: The device as in Claim 1, not designed for load bearing or physical rotation, but consisting of an array of Aztec markings about the periphery so as to sequentially count lunisolar years and compute eclipses. ...etc.
